Why do I need to delete Netflix profiles?

You can only have up to five profiles per account, so if you want to add someone new, you may have to get rid of an existing profile. It could be that somebody on your account doesn’t even watch Netflix anymore, or it could be someone you no longer speak to and you refuse to allow them to keep enjoying good entertainment for free. Regardless of the tier you have, you can only have those five profiles, so choose wisely.
